>Description:
Recent /usr/lib/aout changes seem to have broken at least part of the socks5
port (/usr/ports/net/socks5). Specifically, the 'runsocks' command no
longer seems to work - this command performs a runtime re-linking of executables
to use the socks5 libraries and thus communicate through a socks5 proxy.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install port on a post-/usr/lib/aout machine, then attempt 'runsocks <cmd>' where <cmd>
is a non-socks aware command, such as telnet (yeah, theres a rtelnet installed by the port,
thats not the point :-)

runsocks telnet immediately exits to the command line with no errors
runsocks ftp hangs, refuses to respond to ^C or most other keystrokes

Pre-aout changes, runsocks worked fine for me :)
